Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni rolled out the red carpet for a group of prominent African content creators on November 12, 2026, welcoming them to State House for a conversation about Pan-Africanism, identity and the power of digital storytelling.
Among those in the room was Daniel Wambua Ndambuki, better known as Churchill, the veteran Kenyan comedian and longtime host of the Churchill Show, who has built one of the most recognisable media brands in East Africa.
He was joined by Berthold Kobina Ackon, the Ghanaian YouTuber and travel vlogger widely known as Wode Maya, whose channel has become a go-to destination for positive narratives about African development and culture.

The delegation also included Salim Athumani Kikeke, a celebrated Tanzanian broadcast journalist and digital creator who spent years as a presenter on BBC Swahili; Christine Lynghamar Kia, a Ugandan creator based in Sweden; and Masiliso Mutumba, a prominent Zambian social media personality.
Museveni first noticed the group's work during the Russia-Africa Summit and was impressed enough to extend a personal invitation.
